    Did anyone here actually read what he said, or just reading the headline and jumping to their own conclusion that the UK is joining in on the attacks?

    Fuck me, this response genuinely makes me feel less safe in the UK. What the fuck does the orange paedophile have to do before this utter prick stops siding with him.

    So Israel and the US attacked Iran. Iran then fired back, the UK now is dogpiling Iran because they are firing back?

    Israeli military bombs another school (wtf is their hard on for schools in general. They either want to kill them or fiddle with them)

    Trump (the biggest terrorist in the world at the minute) declares that he wants to take out the terrorists.

    And the UK joins in. On their side.

    Fuck off.

      Provokation and emotional response.

      In my mind that would be the main reason why. An sane population wouldn’t stand for their children to get killed and you do nothing. It forces your opponent into action and you can exploit that action.

      With some infrastructure and certain targets a response can be delayed. Mass civilian/children casualties mean an immediate retaliation is in order or your population revolts to make one happen.

      You see it in Palestine; people with nothing to lose become beligerant. You kill their kids they attack viciously. Much easier to attempt to justify fighting a “vicious rabbid opponent” than a defense less peaceful one. However, if they go the opposite end and attempt peace and calm, they are easy to mow down

    If you are housing US or Israel military you are part of the attack. It’s as simple as that.

    I guess in a fucked up way it’s good to know the Brits and by association the Europeans are just as vile and evil as us. I mean, I know we all have the same capacity for good and evil, but EU smugness is rampant and unhelpful. They need a dose of reality too.

        Coming to the offense of your Israeli masters isn’t a show of force? I’m not making any excuses for the US it’s an evil empire, but so are the Brits and Europeans. I’m just tired of the holier-than-thou smugness from Europeans and Brits. You’re as vile and nasty as us.

            Arbitrary lines drawn by like minds. The UK might not be officially in the EU anymore, but that doesn’t change the fact that you all share the same values and lifestyles as the US. Failed liberal democracies that gave all the power to the owner class that are now welding it to murder children and overthrow sovereign nations. Western civilization is a joke. You’re all patsies like us. No better, no worse.

                My point was that the UK and EU don’t have a leg to stand on when criticizing the genocidal US. You’re as guilty as we are. Just watch as the UK and EU put boots on the ground in defense of Israel.

                  There isn’t even support for this in the US, and you think the EU will help after all the threats, insults and tariff bullying? We have a war in Ukraine where a friendly nation is defending against an aggressor, I don’t see any country willing to support this clusterfuck besides perhaps the UK

                  the UK an the EU are not related things.

                  the EU has no army.

                  you’re upset and lashing out because the shame is too great.

                  no country are angels, but stay focused on what’s happening now. disparaging an entire continent because you’re sad isn’t going to change anything.

      It’s really, really important for people to understand that Iranians wanting Khamenei gone is NOT the same thing as Iranians wanting the US and Israel to bomb their country.

      I’ll shed no tears for the end of Khomenei or the IRGC. I’ll shed endless tears for Iranian civilians. As I have since 2006, I hope the Iranian people can change the world.

        Yeah. I don’t like intervention. I just was taught to always center their opinions before my own wants.

        I wouldn’t have chosen any of this. I just hope that somehow this turns out well for them.

        I feel like a lot of people misunderstood me.

          LOL, ok Cheney. I’m sure this regime change war is different. All those other times we attacked “one of the most horrific regimes in the world” where the good people just needed a little boost to overthrow them it didn’t work out that way because… reasons. This time it’s going to be quick an easy and we’ll definitely be the good guys!

              Dude. I’m willing to tell a foreign power my governing regime is horrific and we’d welcome invasion right now. There were Venezuelans asking for invasion, Iraqis asking for invasion, Afghanis asking for invasion. Do you think all those other countries didn’t have both bad regimes and opposition who wanted them gone? How’d that work out for us?

              Were you perchance born yesterday?
